The historic St. Mary’s Church in Chalgrove is currently in the process of adjusting the space to make it more accessible for Visually Impaired people.
Throughout the church there are interactive objects to touch; a pen friend has been designed to describe the room and objects found within it; an interactive quiz can be held in the space with large print pictures and questions. Help can also be provided throughout the visit with trained guides ready to answer any questions and assist in any way that is needed.
The nave of St. Mary’s Church dates to roughly 1150. There have since been a number of additions throughout the years until it became the building standing today. The building features wall paintings from the 14th century, a beautiful triple sedilia, and has played a role in England’s history from the time of Edward II to the Civil War.
In the future we hope to host an open event in this historic space and if you’re interested, please let us know at info@myvision.org.uk
